Part of the "European Sampler" from SABMiller. They must see a rise in Eastern European beers' popularity in the US by adding this to the pack.

As with just about every mass produced lager, the clarity is perfect with a bright golden yellow color. Solid head retention as two fingers of foam stay in formation for a good while. Smells of lemony hop, wet animal feed grain and mild biscuit. Crisp moderate to light body is refreshing. Soft malt with an underlying graininess throughout. Hop bitterness comes in with an herbal and watery lemon zest flavor and balances the grain for the most part. Rough husk in a thinning maltiness hits middle to end with a dry finish.

Worth a try only if you are wanting to say you have tried a beer from Poland. Other than that, it's like pretty much every other Euro Lager out there: mass produced, processed, industrial and middle of the road. (930 characters)

What can i say other than this was another clear, golden lager with little distinction. The headed faded fast. The nose was dull...very mild on the hop count. The taste again, was mild and bland. A crisp and clean mouthfeel. Drinkable but...what else? i dunno. The bottle claims that Tyskie won "Gold Medal and Grand Prix at the Brewing Industry Awards in London. (363 characters)

Presentation: It was poured from a brown 11.2oz bottle with a twist off cap into a tall mug. The label has the abv (5.6%) and a "BEST BEFORE:" date. (05.28.11)

Appearance: It has a bright golden yellow color with excellent clarity. It sports a quick fading bright white head of foam. It leaves only a slick ring of lacing at the edge of the glass.

Smell: I get sweet white bready maltiness with some bready yeast and light grassy/floral hops.

Taste/Palate: Following the nose the flavor has the same mildly sweet bready malt and yeast character backed up with mild grassy and floral hop notes. It has a very clean finish with light hop bitterness quickly fading from the tongue. Its light to medium body is refreshing and easy drinking with nice balanced carbonation.

Notes: This is a well made, clean and fresh Lager beer. (831 characters)

Pours a clear, pale yellow body with a two finger white head. Body is alive with carbonation bubbles. Good head retention and sporadic patch lace.
Aroma is subdued, with spicy hops and faint grainy sweetness.
Mouthfeel is light to light medium, with moderately high carbonation.
Tastes like an average Euro pale lager. Crisp carbonation, bitter herbal hopping, and light malt sweetness.
Drinkability is decent, but this one fails to impress. (445 characters)

Single bottle from the LCBO - a brew I've walked past many a time... Bought this along with all the other Polish brews we've got (Okocim Mocne, Zywiec, Warka Strong).

The label sports a crown that looks a great deal like the king from a newspaper chess puzzle, along with some accolades from the "Brewing Industry Int'l Awards." Then again, there's another brewery who likes calling their beer "the king" that I could mention, so these statements don't impress me much.

Poured into a Czechvar fluted plisner glass. A bright golden brew, lots of visible carbonation, with a thin white head that recedes into a tiny ring rather quickly. Looks like a Euro lager, but pleasant in the glass nevertheless.

The nose doesn't have much going on at all. Mild grain, a bit of apple and funk. Smells like a pale lager. I'm stretching here...

Thin, easy to chug, a Euro lager in its simplest form. Opens sweet, but finishes with a dry aftertaste that reminds me a great deal of cardboard.

Thin bodied, with aggressive carbonation, this beer is making me burp a lot more than usual, and with no one around to appreciate my facial flatulence, this is not a good thing.

Drink one if you want a beer from Poland. Drink one if you want a beer that's more difficult to pronounce than it lets on. But don't expect much beyond the bare minimum. (1,333 characters)

Poured into a tulip pint glass. A clear golden colour with medium carbonation. Forms a small head of white foam that subsides rapidly. A weak aroma of of light malt with a sweet, solventy hint of apples. Not brilliant.

Tastes of faint malt with a background note of artificial solventy bitterness - mild but unpleasant. No hops or other flavours to be discerned. Mouthfeel is watery and prickly, with a slight oiliness. Somewhat dry and astringent. Not much aftertaste; a slight solvent-like hint.

Weak sauce. This is poor and tasteless even by macro lager standards. An unpleasant chemical note detracts even more - at least the average lager is inoffensive. Avoid. (709 characters)

Clear medium yellow look, white head of a half inch in hieght, decent duration -- but breaking up with cheap large bubbles exploding. Laces in sparse downward dripping strings. Alight maple syrup aroma, some glue, some slight grape suggesting bare hops. Mouthfeel is light, carbonation a bit too fizzy for me. Flavor starts out malty, some corn syrup elements, but backed up by a medicinal bitterness. Becomes flat and thinner mid mouth. Finish is a little below par, chalky and slightly unpleasant in the throat. A little more hoppy than some, average drinkability, some off things going on. (592 characters)

While vacationing in Rehoboth I picked up this polish brew at the liquor store from the singles for about a dollar or so. Appears a pale golden straw hue with large bubbled rather creamy textured head leaves behind some even fine lacing after dwindling slowly down the edges of my pint. Aroma has a mild skunky dose of hops that fits the Euro pale lager style quite well to offset the hops come some cereal sweetness blended with a cooked veggies tone. Flavor contains mild bitterness and more of that characteristic skunk not too much green bottled gone wild skunk but the edge is there along with this comes mild lemongrass blended with hints of light toasted malts and corn/rice adjuncts in there as well. Mouthfeel is light moderate factory made carbonation does tickle the back of the throat a bit, but smooth and unihibited for the most part. Drinkability is decent but not a brew I'm dying to try again, solid for a Euro pale definitely refreshing I wouldn't turn it down if offered. (990 characters)

Pale yellow. Really sweet and flabby, slightly syruppy texture, pretty bland in general however. Oh well. Another challenge for the character minimum, i'm really sorry, but i couldn't write more, there was nothing to write about, i could write stuff, like the size of the bottle what the label looked like, but theres really no point.

Served from a aluminium can (not the bottle shown here) and was pale straw colour, and not a great deal of aroma, though it did hint at floral yeasts and being dryish. Taste was OK, though no depth of flavour or character, making it easy to drink. Surely better than most of the 'brewed under licence lagers' we get here in UK and the dreaded Bud, but nothing special. Though it sure would be a good buy in Poland as the price shown on the can was ZL 2.65 which makes it 47p or $0.87c a can !

Small to medium white and bubbly quick dying head, that doesn't leave much lacing behind.

This beer is golden (on the yellow side) colored beer, very clean and clear in appearance.

The aroma is a light sour yet sweet caramel maltness with hints of something, maybe corn syrup coming off it.

This beer has a light caramelized grain malt and light syrupy (maybe corn) taste with a light sourness throughout the drinking and into the aftertaste which also has a very light dryness to it. (487 characters)
